Although this blog is about consumer rights and how not to get fobbed off, I thought it might be useful to share some good money blogs with you. If you are interested in knowing your rights you may also be interested in finding out about ways to save and make money on a variety of things from holidays to personal finance, food to energy saving and selling stuff! There are of course thousands of blogs out there run by people keen to share their ideas and sometimes you may stumble across them and some that are equally as good that you don’t. So I’ll list some for you all in one place so that if you fancy putting your feet up with a cuppa or glass of wine, here are some good ones to start you off. If you find any of them useful or you’d like them to cover a financial issue that fits with their blog then please do mention it in a comment on their (not mine!) blog.

I have tried to provide a varied list to give lots of choice of what’s out there, so that each one I’m showing you, is for the most part, quite different to another.

Be Clever With Your Cash is a blog about helping you do the same. It picked up Best Personal Finance Blog at this year’s Headlinemoney awards. (I was nominated I’ll have you know, but my blog is pretty niche! “I only do complaining” I often say!) Run by Andy Webb covers all sorts of great stuff.

Masses on here (even a guest post from yours truly hidden away. They won Headline Money award last year and various awards in the UK Money blogger of the year awards.

Skintedmintedmum Charlotte and Minted mum Jane, both personal finance journalists, offer family finance tips to other mums whatever their budget. That little bit different in concept to other blogs which I like, so well worth a visit.

An important aspect of that is better budgeting, aiming for a small emergency fund and reducing your borrowing costs and expenses wherever possible. Sara also write a guest post on my blog Everything you need to know about Payday loans so you know she must be good!

Money Tree Man with the help of his Money Tree girlfriend writes a blog about saving money to achieve financial independence, starting with buying a house! Investments etc. Whilst that may be a little different to other blogs which talk about tips, saving money etc. etc., anyone that writes “Rants and bants”, “A quick google can be the difference investment ingenuity of fiscal fucktardedry!” and “Little bitch syndrome” has got to be worth a peruse.
